More About PicMonkey

Though there's a limit to the number of pre-built free layouts PicMonkey has available, you can also make your own custom template by simply dragging images to the canvas and adjusting where they should go

A collage's background can be heavily customized with PicMonkey, by allowing the spacing between images to be adjusted as well as corners rounded and a color or transparency set as the background color

The AutoFill feature automatically adds all your pictures to the collage to save time

Once they've been added to your collage, you can resize photos, alter their exposure, adjust their position, and flip/rotate them

The entire collage can be sent to PicMonkey's online editor for more advanced editing before saving it to your computer

You can adjust the dimensions of the collage before saving it as well as the quality

Collage's can be saved to your computer as a PNG or JPG file, or you can choose OneDrive or Dropbox

When you're done building the collage's, they can be shared over several social media websites or emailed to someone, and you can attach a caption or comments to the collage before doing so

Some features are Royale features and are not free to use, but they're clearly marked as such

My Thoughts on PicMonkey

PicMonkey is my favorite online collage maker because the website lets you work quickly, edit your images, and save the collage in no time, but you can also spend some more time by utilizing the full online editor to create the perfect collage.

Some photo collage makers will clear out all the pictures from your collage if you change the layout midway through editing. PicMonkey, however, lets you adjust the layout as many times as you want once you've added the pictures without worrying about them going away, which is appreciated.
